Correct Answer: Rs. 1,376
Solution : Principal = Rs. 640 Simple Interest = 832 – 640 = Rs. 192 Time = 2 years Since simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Time × Rate}}{100}$ ⇒192 = $\frac{\text{640 × 2 × Rate}}{100}$ ⇒ Rate = 15% Now, for Rs. 860 as principal for 4 years Simple interest = $\frac{860 × 4 × 15}{100}$ = Rs. 516 So, amount = 860 + 516 = Rs.1376 Hence, the correct answer is 1,376.
